Wilhelm Schulthess Foundation
The Schulthess Klinik has been supported by the non-profit Wilhelm Schulthess Foundation since 1935. People, their mobility and quality of life are at the heart of our day-to-day work. We devote all our energy to providing our patients with the best possible care and ensuring their quick recovery. We are also helping to make treatments better and safer with our long-standing research tradition.
«What distinguishes us: State-of-the-art medicine for all, scientific innovation, and heartfelt humanity so reflective of our founder Wilhelm Schulthess.» Franz von Meyenburg, Board of Trustees President

The cornerstones of the Wilhelm Schulthess Foundation and the clinic’s philosophy serve as a guide in this process: Funds from donations are allocated to the foundation, the research fund or the Schulthess patient assistance fund.
